Re: [OSM-talk] Title bars (dynamic updating of)
that's easy enough to do It would need to be in rails to go on the main page though, so if any ruby programmer wants to implement it, I can tell them what needs doing? (use the zoom level to choose 3 appropriately-spaced points around the lat/lon, lookup the placenames at each point (optionally choosing a language for the placenames), and return a list of placenames that appear in all 3 points) You have to make some assumptions about screen size though - 50.5,-0.2 @z11 on a mobile phone might be 'central london', while the same query on Al Gore's array of monitors might be 'europe' On Sun, Aug 2, 2009 at 5:45 AM, Stefan Baeblerstefan.baeb...@gmail.com wrote: Cool!

Predicting the resource usage of hundreds of browsers asking for a new title every few seconds is not. The gain here seems trivial - how many people are actually studying the title bar of the browser while they pan around the map? and the potential to impose a significant load on the server is high.
